Exposure

Hillary Blaze, “Exposure” (Vintage/Rockadrome, 2011; original recording 1977)
This nifty artifact embodies a lot of what was (still) good about hard-ish rock on the eve of punk – weird, inventive, melodramatic song structures and sound effects à la Bowie and Roxy meets a streamlined, hard-hitting attack that recalls “Highway Star” while foreshadowing Van Halen. Most reminiscent of Zolar X, but note quite as insane (what was?).
